Hi there,
SEO - Combination of adwords, landing pages, and plenty of thought about content and alt tags.
Also making use of the metas for articles. This site is using the native Joomla SEF - no 3rd party SEF
It does have xmap as site map.

David, I understand your explanation of the Adobe files. Right now I have a video in MP4 format, which I would like to use, but when I convert it to SWF it's becoming twice the size ! Can't I just upload the MP4 (or after conversion to F4V) ?
Thanks,

IMHO, you need to search for converters that will reduce the file size.
FLV is good for video as it takes into consideration it's a video and compresses accordingly, AFAIK, SWF is best for images and a limited amount of movement on the screen.
When you try to convert a video to SWF, instead of FLV, it will do what you ask, but with a sacrifice of file size, as each frame needs to be converted to a separate file which is then streamed.(Maybe a bad explaination...)
MP4 is also a good format, but in my experience, the compression is limited unless you use some soft which lets you decided screen resolution and compression levels.
Viable solution for you or not, I don't know, but I had a site that had over 2GB of video files a while back, and by converting the files from one format to the next, which took a bit of time, I got the files to be under 200MB.
Al the videos on the current site start to stream in under 3 seconds and the quality is still great!
Camtasia is a great app for editing / converting videos, you may want to check it out.
(For example, In some cases, I converted a 800MB-1GB FLV/SWF to WMV, then converted the WMV back to FLF or MP4, resulting in a file that was under 50MB, usually, with a couple of scrubs, under 10MB with no apparent loss in quality with the proper screen resolution.)
Just my 2 Yen....

Hi,
Gotcha. Your 2 Yen is worth more than some people might think :cheesy:
I bought Camtasia just yesterday, and yes, that is a QUALITY tool. Thanks for your suggestion.
And yes, F4V, FLV and MPEG4 are a lot smaller in size then SWF. David points that out in our discussion here also.
What I still don't get though: normally we load movies into the website with Javascript/HTML and right now I am not sure how to do that with F4V, or FLV or MPEG4. Right now I have my movie in all formats, available on this AND other planets
but I'm puzzled as how to handle (Jscript wise) other formats then SWF.
If I look in the (screen) source code of ContrastDesign, the video is also in SWF-format.
So, Im still a bit in the dark and in need of a flash light ........ - Does PHP stand for: Permanent Headache Provided -or- Psychiatric Health Problem ?

Hi Hans,
As the company is a video production company they do their own videos and load them so I have no actual exprience of how they render their videos to get such low file sizes, all I can tell you is that the video on the home page is F4V and is loaded via Flash.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :cheesy:

Camtasia automatically, depending on the setting you choose, creates code to embed in a web page.
If you have a static HTML site, you just upload all the files to a folder and then create a link.
With Joomla, you create a folder for all the files, upload them, and then using the source code provided in the HTML file, paste the code into an Article or Module (in HTML mode); then edit the paths as needed.
I know this is an overgeneralized explanation, if you need more details, let me know.
It works, I promise! - Thanks,
jim

Thanks Jem, followed your suggestions. I'm all set with Camtasia. Neat product.....
The following is probably for you RT-guys no real news, but it might save someone else some time searching for solutions regarding streaming other formats then SWF (like F4V and FLV) through HTTP channels on your server (both Local and Linux/Remote). You might want to check out this link:

It's about Adobe and their neat little (but expensive) product called Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5, which does exactly what I was looking for. I downloaded the trial and it is amazing ! (just like all their products).
